Darren:

Good is a matter of opinion.

First, I would NEVER use a Microsoft Email program. They are full of flaws which the hackers keep on exploiting. Over and over and over. How many email virus attacks does it take before people wake up and cease using software which can so easily be infected (Microsoft Outlook, etc.)

That basically leaves two other email programs... Eudora and Pegasus.

I have tried both. Not just as software to send and receive emails but as software to manage email lists.

Of the two, I prefer Pegasus. It's easy. Straight forward. Names are added to and removed from lists with the click of a button. I do not need to know anything about file moving to create additional lists. I can have virtually unlimited folders and subfolders (like Windows Explorer - the file utility progam). It is NOT able to be infected by email viruses. Allows you to set up all the filters you want - quickly and easily. Enables you to check multiple POP accounts and to send email with different "From" and "Reply To" addresses with a click of the mouse. Multiple people can use the one program and still have their email be private. And best of all... it is Free.

If you want desktop email software to manage your list, go with Pegasus. (If your list is huge - 10,000 or so - you are better off with an online system.)
